ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Missense mutated von Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein (pVHL) maintains intrinsic function but undergoes proteasomal degradation and tumor initiation and/or progression in VHL disease. Vorinostat can rescue missense mutated pVHL and arrest tumor growth in preclinical models. We asked whether short-term oral vorinostat could rescue pVHL in central nervous system hemangioblastomas in patients with germline missense VHL. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We administered oral vorinostat to 7 subjects (ages 46.0 ± 14.5 years) and then removed symptomatic hemangioblastomas surgically (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02108002).RESULTS:
Vorinostat was tolerated without serious adverse events by all patients. pVHL expression was elevated in neoplastic stromal cells compared with untreated hemangioblastomas from same patients. We found transcriptional suppression of downstream hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) effectors. Mechanistically, vorinostat prevented Hsp90 recruitment to mutated pVHL in vitro. The effects of vorinostat on the Hsp90-pVHL interaction, pVHL rescue, and transcriptional repression of downstream HIF effectors was independent of the location of the missense mutation on the VHL locus. We confirmed a neoplastic stromal cell-specific effect in suppression of protumorigenic pathways with single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling.CONCLUSIONS:
We found that oral vorinostat treatment in patients with germline missense VHL mutations has a potent biologic effect that warrants further clinical study. These results provide biologic evidence to support the use of proteostasis modulation for the treatment of syndromic solid tumors involving protein misfolding. Proteostasis modulation with vorinostat rescues missense mutated VHL protein. Further clinical trials are needed to demonstrate tumor growth arrest.
